Nashville, TN – Officials with the Turn One CRA Pro Series have announced the 2026 schedule of events, which features several popular events that fans and drivers have come to expect, plus long-awaited returns to some of the Nation’s top facilities for Pro Late Model Racing. The calendar features 12 nights of racing at nine different tracks in states like Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania.
The 16th season of Champion Racing Association sanctioned Pro Late Model racing begins on Saturday, April 18 at Toledo Speedway. The site of the inaugural race for the Turn One CRA Pro Series, formerly the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour, Toledo Speedway, was off the schedule for 13 seasons before returning to the calendar during the 2024 season. The race was thrilling, with Cody Coughlin becoming the winningest driver at the time with the Turn One CRA Pro Series after his win. The success of that race sparked the return to Toledo in 2025 as the season opener, which saw Kyle Crump hold off Blake Rowe and Austin Hull for the win.
The first trip of the season to Owosso Speedway is scheduled for Saturday, May 16 for the Big O Classic 100. Owosso has become an integral part of the CRA Pro Series calendar since returning to the schedule in 2023. In that time, Kyle Crump has become synonymous with the Ovid, Michigan facility, picking up at least one win a season and capturing all three marquee events, including the Big O Classic (2023, 2025), The Masters of the Pros 200 (2025), and the Owosso Nationals (2024).
A non-points special at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway returns for the third season on Thursday, May 28, for the Rackley Roofing Battle of Broadway 150. Trey Craig has swept both renditions of the event since the first run in 2024.
On Saturday, June 6 the CRA Pro Series joins the ASA/CRA Super Series at Flat Rock Speedway. The event has been co-sanctioned for several seasons and offers a unique opportunity for Pro and Super Late Models to share the race track at the same time. In 2025, Canadian Chase Pinsonneault grabbed a popular victory at the Motor City Speedway.
A new event toward the 2026 Championship is scheduled for Saturday, June 27, when the Turn One CRA Pro Series returns to Jennerstown Speedway Complex in Jennerstown, PA, for the Motor Mountain Masters 150. Last year, the event was added to the schedule as a non-points special and Evan Shotko, who has won the event in the past, went back to victory lane. In 2026, the race will pay $10K to win and $1,200 to start.
Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park is back on the CRA Pro Series schedule for the first time since the 2021 season. Kyle Crump was the most recent winner, joining a list that includes Travis Braden, Jake Garcia, Brian Campbell, and Jeff Cannon since 2016.
The largest Pro Late Model race in North America is back on Wednesday, July 22 for the Masters of the Pros 200 at Owosso Speedway. Not only does the event tout a $20K payday for the winner, but a staggering $1,200 to start. Fans can expect the best late model drivers in the country, plus already-confirmed early entries of Keelan and Kevin Harvick.
Birch Run Speedway returns in 2026 after a one-year hiatus from the CRA Pro Series calendar; the Dixie 100 is scheduled for Friday, July 31.
Also returning to the calendar after a one-year absence is Berlin Raceway on Friday, September 11th for the Battle of the Pros 100.
The 2026 season ends with three staple events for the CRA Pro Series, starting with the Owosso Nationals at Owosso Speedway on Saturday, September 26, the Winchester 100 at Winchester Speedway on Friday, October 9, the Series’ championship race, and the All American 100 at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway on Saturday, November 6.
The 16th season of racing for the Turn One CRA Pro Series is highly anticipated, with a rebranding which will officially take place after the New Year.
